Applicants in Durham can review supported Washington DC visa appointment options in this guide. The listed routes cover the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France and Germany, with VFS Global, BLS International, TLScontact and an Embassy or Consulate named across the options.

The nearest listed centre by estimated driving distance is the VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005. The supplied estimate from Durham is 257.4 miles and 295 minutes. This centre is linked to the Netherlands and Portugal routes. The other listed Washington locations are only slightly farther by the supplied distance measure, so destination and jurisdiction should guide your choice.
For Durham applicants, the supported routes are Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, Spain through BLS International, France through TLScontact, and Germany through the German Embassy route. The five supplied routes show Washington DC as the application city. The supplied centre guidance is destination-specific: arrangements can vary, Spain requires a consular-jurisdiction check, and Germany requires confirmation of residence coverage and visa category before booking any appointment.
The supplied travel figures put the VFS Global centre at 257.4 miles and 295 minutes from the centre of Durham, using an estimated driving route. These figures are not a promise of a fixed journey: live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter them. Allow sensible extra time around the appointment, especially when the booking requires a long journey to Washington DC.
Check the exact address on the confirmation for your chosen route before setting out. The listed Washington centres are at Vermont Avenue NW, L Street NW and Reservoir Road NW, with the Italy office not part of Durham's supplied route list. Public transport details are not supplied here, so choose travel arrangements using the official centre information and allow for current security instructions before travelling.
Match your destination with the correct Washington centre before booking. Durham's listed options use VFS Global for the Netherlands and Portugal, BLS International for Spain, TLScontact for France, and the German Embassy for Germany.
Use the destination-specific official page to confirm submission arrangements, appointment confirmation details and any current security instructions. The supplied guidance specifically says arrangements can vary for the Netherlands route and asks applicants to check confirmation and security information for France.
Treat 257.4 miles and 295 minutes as planning estimates from Durham's named location centre. Check your own starting point and allow for traffic or road closures, because the supplied figures can change and do not represent a guaranteed arrival time.
Keep your appointment confirmation and selected route details accessible while travelling. Recheck the centre address against the official page before leaving Durham, particularly if the destination or appointment arrangements have changed since you first booked.
